We are all part of an English course called Rhetoric and New Media taught by Professor Rivers at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. Coffee in the MSB is our plan for the Distance Enhancement Project where we combine multiple forms of modern media in order in order t raise awareness on the campus on Georgetown about a issue or concern we feel should be addressed. It is through these new examples of media that we hope to raise awareness and rally support in order to make a positive impact for the University community and for those who visit.

-Getting coffee available in the MSB for undergraduate students and visitors was an idea that had been proposed in the past but was unable to be realized and implemted for various reasons. We realize it could be difficult to get a full sized running coffee shop and thus we have multiple potential paths that can be taken. We will first propose the idea of having a coffee shop. At the coffee shop, they could also sell bagels, muffins, and other snacks, similar to the MUG stand in ICC which  run by The Corp, the student run business which already has a few coffee shops in other parts of campus. We think that a shop will be more beneficial, because it will provide more jobs for students on campus and generate money for the school. Possibly, this stand could be an extension of the corp, like the MUG stand, and this would allow for more employment opportunities. We realize that getting a coffee shop might be difficult and expensive, thus our back up plan would be to have the installation of a coffee machine such as the one in Lauinger Library. This would create the availability of coffee in the MSB without the space and staffing requirements of a full coffee shop, but will still help the busy people on the go.
